The rehabilitation of Fleet Street is a project which started a few years ago with a plan to divide the works in five phases. These are – Pontoon Road to Oxford Street, Oxford to Station Street, Station Street to Ganteaume Crescent, Ganteaume Crescent to Currie Street and Currie to Fitzpatrick Road.

The City has currently completed the following areas Currie Street to Fitzpatrick Road, Currie Street to Ganteaume Crescent and Ganteaume Crescent to Station Street.

Work on the Northern side of Cambridge Street started this week, while 90 percent of the works on the Southern parts of Station Street, which is currently closed, have been finished.

For motorists using the road to town (CBD) or the Quigney area, Caxton Street can be used as an alternative route as roadworks will also commence between Station Street and the bottom of Oxford Street.

The project also includes the relocation of sewerlines, water pipes, and electrical services while reconstructing Fleet Street.

Other roads to be closed in the next weeks include Drury Lane near KFC downtown.

when all is said and done, where are the police and traffic officers. Sitting in their vehicles don’t help at all. Motorists are stuck in the traffic without further protection of the police. Policing in this town need to be more visible. They need to be proactive with the public. Strong presence of police and traffic officers need to be seen at these road work sites so that there is a free flow of happy motorist. Would be delinquents are stopped immediately from harming anyone. BCM, public safety is what gets motorists n pedestrians all hyped up.

Do you think, the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, is making a positive difference in the country’s education system by dropping the pass mark for home languages from 50% to 40% for Grade 7, 8 and 9 classes?

It will improve the pass rate of the country.

The pass rate is low enough at 50%

Lowering the pass rate will affect the pupil’s academic career at tertiary level

This proposal will make things worse for the country’s education system
